REVERSIBLE REACTIONS-III. ABSORPTION OF CO, INTO SOLUTIONS OF BLENDS OF AMINES

Chem. Engng Sci. 45, in press) is applied to the absorption of CO, into solutions of blends of amines. The experimental results of Critchfkd and Rochelle (1987) are evaluated with the numerical model. It is shown that a rigorous numerical solution of rhe differential equations describing the mass transfer gives more insight into the actual process than analytical approximations based on a reduction of the number of reactions by neglecting or lumping reactions. 1
